Hi
All,
Do
hope that you are all cosy and warm crafting in your craft rooms with this cold
weather!! Oh wouldn't that be so lovely. The weather here has been quite cold,
with wind, rain and just generally wintery – the good news is that
September 1st is the first day of spring, yeh!
July
was as busy as ever for us – Shirl has been organizing the Retreat – see more
info later in this newsletter, Flo has been over to the Hamilton Cricut Club
which is doing really great creations, Gisborne is doing well and we are
tickety-booing along here in Palmerston North.
Palmerston
North:
While
we do not have specific ‘open hours’ for shopping you are welcome to come when it suits you, to
browse and pick up any supplies you need. Just give me a quick call to make
sure I am not off picking up one of the boys. If I do not have what you want I will do my
best to find it for you. If you want to
give me a call to see if I have what you need, feel free to call me on 3533880
or 0211378157.
Our
July card classes went very well with the Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday
classes making ‘man’s shirt’ cards and the Thursday class making a Christmas
Teddy Bear woggle card.
Shirl
was at the Plaza in Palmerston North for a week of the school holidays with
‘ceramic painting’ which the children (and even adults) really love. It was a busy time. Watch out for her in the Plaza next school holidays – great activity
for the children.
2nd
and 3rd August we held a Cricut Education Weekend here in Palmerston
North and what a wonderful time we had.
Lots of fun and laughter and a whole heap of learning!! We even did
glass etching – so cool!!!
Hamilton Cricut
Craft Club
group has also done glass etching with great results. This small glass bowl was
etched then coloured. The Cricut was used to cut the vinyl butterflys to go
onto the bowl. Watch for more pics on the blog.
Cricut News
As some of you may
know there is a new Cricut machine out called the Cricut Explore. This machine
can only be used if you have a high speed internet connection and does not work
as a standalone machine as the other Cricut machines do. However as well as
being able to cut from the Cricut cartridges linked to your account the Explore
software Design Space, imports and cuts .svg, .dxf, .jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp
files and this to many people is what they want to do. If you would like to
know more about the Explore contact Flo.
Feeling
a bit cold over the last few days I used the Explore to make this svg file of a
snowman. (Purchased from svgcuts.com) He has his outside embossed with
snowflakes and he has glitter glue painted on his snowflakes to make him shine
a bit. The hat is removable and the inside holds treats if you wanted him for
this. All the bling came from ‘Madge’s Stash’ ssshh. But isn’t he just soo
cute.
